10 1. Introduction This document explains the installation and configuration settings of the Brekeke SIP Server Software. The document will help you to start a SIP based service such as VoIP (Voice over IP) What is Brekeke SIP Server? The Brekeke SIP Server is an open standard based SIP Proxy Server and Registrar. It authenticates and registers user agents such as VoIP device and softphone, and routes SIP sessions such as VoIP calls between user agents. The Brekeke SIP Server has the following main functions: Routing The Brekeke SIP Server will route SIP requests from a SIP user agent or another server to the most appropriate SIP URI address based on its Registrar Database. By specifying desired routing settings in the Dial Plan, you can also prioritize your routing. If the routing resolves successfully on the server, you can establish a session even when the final SIP URI address is unknown to the caller. Using Regular Expressions, you can easily create a Dial Plan rule that will analyze SIP headers or the IP address of SIP packets to route calls. For example, you can set a prefix for each location with Dial Plan settings. Such settings are especially useful for multi-location office usage of the Brekeke SIP Server. Registrar The Brekeke SIP Server receives REGISTER requests from SIP user agents, and updates its Registrar Database. SIP URI in the REGISTER request will be added in the database as a user s address. Using the registrar function, you will be able to receive calls from any SIP user agents using your unique SIP URI. NAT Traversal When caller and callee are located on different networks, the Brekeke SIP Server can connect calls by rewriting SIP packets appropriately. It is common to have private local IP addresses within a LAN environment, thus NAT Traversal service is necessary when a local user is establishing a connection with another user in the global IP network (Internet). Depending upon the situation, Brekeke SIP Server will relay RTP packets to prevent losing media data such as voice and video. The NAT traversal feature on the Brekeke SIP Server supports both Near-End NAT (the server and SIP user agents located within the same 9 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

11 firewall) and Far-End NAT (SIP user agents located on the other side of a firewall of a remote network). Upper/Thru Registration Upper/Thru Registration is a unique feature of the Brekeke SIP Server that allows easy configuration of parallel users of pre-existing or other SIP servers. By forwarding REGISTER requests to specified SIP servers, the feature allows users to register their SIP user agents at the other SIP server and the Brekeke SIP Server simultaneously. For example, with this feature, users can register their SIP user agents at an ITSP, thus users under the Brekeke SIP Server can talk with other users in the ITSP or receive calls from PSTN Editions The Brekeke SIP Server comes in several editions to meet the needs of different levels of users.

With this feature, the Primary server can mirror its SIP session data and registration data to the Secondary server in real-time and the Secondary server can take over the service with the mirrored data if the Primary server goes down. Generally, the Mirroring feature is used with the Heartbeat feature which can detect failure of the Primary server and turns the Secondary server active. Please refer to the section Mirroring/Heartbeat for a general setting. Note: The Mirroring feature is available in the Advanced Edition only. 1) Server Status If the server is inactive, "INACTIVE" will be shown. If the Mirroring Mode is disabled even if the server is active, Disabled will be shown. Otherwise, the following information will be shown. 38 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

40 Field Name mirroring-role mirroring-address mirroring-pair Explanation Either primary or secondary. The Primary server provides the service while the Secondary server receives mirrored data. It is the shared IP address between the Primary server and Secondary server. Users of the service need to use this IP address as a proxy and registrar. These are the pair s IP addresses. For the Primary server, the secondary s IP address should be set. For the Secondary server, the primary s IP address should be set. 2) Mirroring Settings Item Default value Explanation On/Off off When set to "on", the Mirroring Mode is enabled. Role Virtual IP Address Pair IP Address primary When set to "primary", the server works as the Primary server. When set to "secondary", the server works as the Secondary server. It is the shared IP address between the Primary server and Secondary server. Users of the service need to use this IP address as a proxy and registrar. This IP address should be unique and accessible to users. These are the pair s IP addresses. For the Primary server, the Secondary server s IP address should be set. For the Secondary server, the Primary server s IP address should be set. Mirroring Request Pattern This defines a packet pattern for mirroring. With this setting, the Primary server mirrors only specified packets to the Secondary server. The blank means any SIP packets. For example: When set to "INVITE CANCEL BYE", the Primary server mirrors only INVITE, CANCEL and BYE packets. When set to "!REGISTER", the Primary server will not mirror REGISTER packets. Button Save and Apply Save Explanation Save and apply changes Save changes. 39 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

41 Heartbeat The Heartbeat feature provides a failover function. It monitors targets which are network entities such as other Brekeke SIP Servers at frequent intervals. When it detects a target is down, it executes pre-defined actions such as IP address switching or notification. An administrator can define multiple Heatbeat targets and actions here. Since the feature uses ICMP to check the target s availability, a situation such as a physical port problem or a cable disconnection will trigger a failover. Also, please make sure that ICMP packets could be accepted at the firewall of target network entities. For a general Mirroring deployment, the Heartbeat feature is required only on the Secondary server. Therefore, the firewall for the Primary server should accept ICMP packets sent from the Secondary server. To do this, an administrator may add the physical IP address of the Seconday server at the Primary server s firewall settings as a trusted IP address. Also, under the Mirroring deployment, please start the Primary server before starting the Heartbeat feature on the Secondary server. Please refer to the section Mirroring/Heartbeat for more information. Note: The Heartbeat feature is available in the Advanced Edition only. 1) Heartbeat Status This section shows current Heartbeat status and allows an administrator to start/stop the Heartbeat. The Heartbeat feature can start even if Brekeke SIP Server is inactive because it works independently from the server. Field Name Status Explanation If the Heartbeat feature is running, the status is "Running". If the Heartbeat feature is not running, the status is "Not Running". If the Heartbeat has failed, the status is Failed. Button Start Stop Restart Latest log file Explanation Start the Heartbeat feature Note: Please start the Heartbeat feature manually after Brekeke SIP Server starts because it will not start automatically when the server starts.

48 4. Dial Plan 4.1. What is the Dial Plan? The Brekeke SIP Server's Dial Plan defines rules for routing, filtering and actions. The Dial Plan can also be used for setting environment variables and modifications of selected SIP headers. Regular expressions are used for defining those rules. This section is a reference for the Dial Plan functions. Please refer to the section "3.3. Dial Plan" for more details. For sample definitions, please refer to the Brekeke SIP Server Tutorial-Dial Plan. The Dial Plan can consist of multiple rules. Each rule is defined with the pair of Matching Patterns and Deploy Patterns. When all conditions set in the Matching Patterns are satisfied, the actions defined in the Deploy Patterns are applied. By setting a Dial Plan, you can achieve the following functions: Routing Filtering Modifications of SIP headers Load Balancing RTP relay settings Call Session Plug-ins Call Dial Plan Plug-ins Setting Environment Variables 4.2. Create and Edit Dial Plan To edit the Dial Plan, open [Dial Plan] menu. For creating new Dial plan rule, select [New Rule] option. For editing a current Dial Plan rule, click the corresponding edit icon. Please refer to the section New Rule/ Edit Rule for more details. You can also edit Dial Plan files directly. Your changes will be in effect after you restart Brekeke SIP Server. The Dial Plan file is located under the install directly: <INSTALL_DIR>\webapps\sip\WEB-INF\work\sv\etc\dialplan.tbl 47 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

49 4.3. Matching Patterns The Matching Patterns define conditions for applying the rule. Conditions can be defined using a pair of the following: the name of the SIP header, condition functions, system environment variables, source IP address, or the source port number, and the string pattern for matching. By defining multiple pairs, you can make the conditions more specific. Regular Expressions are used for defining string matching patterns. The string between parenthesis () in the right side can be referred to in Matching Patterns and Deploy Patterns. To add a condition in the Matching Patterns section: 1. Push [ ] button (which is between the Variable field and the Value field). 2. Select a variable name from the pull-down list or type a variable name directly in the Variable field. 3. Type a string pattern to the Value field and then, push the [+] button. Refer to the section New Rule/ Edit Rule for more information Syntax Matching Patterns SIP_header_name = string pattern &environment_variable_name = string pattern $condition_function_name = string pattern $condition_function_name( arguments ) = string pattern Main regular expressions which can be used in Matching Pattern s right side are as follows: Symbols Meaning! If! is placed in the front of the string pattern, it means NOT. ^ Match the beginning of the line $ Match the end of the line [abc] Match any character listed between brackets. In this case, a or b or c. Match any character except those listed between the brackets. In this case, [^abc] any characters except a, b and c.. Match any character except new line X+ Match the preceding element (X, in this case) one or more times X* Match the preceding element (X, in this case) zero or more times X{n} Match the preceding element (X, in this case) n times 48 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

50 Symbols X{n,} X{n,m} (chars) Meaning Match the preceding element (X, in this case) at least n times Match the preceding element (X, in this case) at least n times, but no more than m times The characters between the brackets will be put in a buffer. To refer to the n-th digit buffer in Deploy Pattern, use %<digit> (for example %1) 1) SIP Header Field Name To use a SIP header as a condition, specify a pair of a SIP header name and a string pattern. SIP header field name = a string pattern From = sip:user@domain\.com[>;]* If the SIP URI in From: header is sip:user@domain.com To = sip:11@ If the SIP user name in To: header field is 11 To = sip:9(.+)@ If the SIP user name in To: header field starts with 9 To = sip:(...)@ If the SIP user name in To: header field contains only 4 characters Supported = timer If Supported: header field contains the string timer, Expires = ^[0-5]$ If the value of Expires: header field is in the range 0-5 Contact = sip:[a-za-z]+@ If the user name in Contact header contains only alphabet 2) Environment Variable The environment variable is a variable name which starts with &.

72 $usrdir.lookup( "mike ) = true If the user mike is recorded in the Users Database Deploy Patterns The Deploy Patterns defines actions that will be taken when a rule s conditions defined in the Matching Pattern are met. At Deploy Patterns, you can define SIP header, routing destination, error response, environment variables as server s behavior, plug-in to load, and whether to perform RTP relay or not. Action is defined with a pair of SIP header name, handling variable name or environment variable and value. You can define multiple actions in one rule. In the Value field of Deploy Patterns, matched string in Matching Patterns can be referred. When '%n' (n=number) was defined in value, the character string that locates in n-th number of parenthesis ( ) in Matching Patterns s value will be inserted at the Deploy Patterns field. To add a definition to the Deploy Patterns section: 1. Push [ ] button (which is between the Variable field and the Value field). 2. Select a variable name from the pull-down list or type a variable name directly in the Variable field. 3. Type a value to the Value field and then, push the [+] button. Refer to the section New Rule/ Edit Rule for more information Syntax Deploy Patterns SIP_header_field = setting value &environment_variable_name = setting value $handling_variable_name = setting value 1) SIP Header Field Name By specifying a SIP header name in variable field, you can replace, add or delete the value of the SIP header. If the specified SIP header field exists in a SIP packet, the header will be replaced with the specified value. If specified value is empty, the header will be removed from the SIP packet. The SIP routing destination can be decided depending on the setting for To header as follows: 71 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

73 If To = sip:username@host is set, the SIP session will be routed to the address host. If To = sip:username@ is set, the SIP session will be routed to the contact address for the registered user username in Registrar Database. SIP header field name = setting value From = sip:admin@ From header will be replaced with sip:admin@ To = sip:boss@ To header will be replaced with sip:boss@ And the session will be routed to the address To = sip:sales@ The session will be routed to the contact address of the registered user sales. From = Ted <sip: @domain> From header s SIP URI will be replaced with <sip: @domain>. Caller s display name will be set as Ted. Expires = 300 The value of Expires: will be set as 300. User-Agent = User-Agent: header will be deleted. Refer-To = sip:user@server Refer-To: header field will be replaced with user@server. 2) Environment Variable The variable which starts with & is treated as an environment variable. The environment variable name isn t case sensitive. This setting will be applied only for the session that matches with Matching Patterns. To configure the environment variables for the whole system, please set them in the property file or in the Configuration page. &environment_variable_name = a setting value 72 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

74 &net.sip.timeout.ringing = Set the value of ringing timeout to (Set the environment variable net.sip.timeout.ringing = ) &net.sip.addrecordroute = false Don t add Record-Route: header. (Set the environment variable net.sip.addrecordroute = false) &net.rtp.audio.payloadtype = 0 Change the audio payload type in SDP to PCMU. (Set the environment variable net.rtp.audio.payloadtype = 0) 3) Handling Variable The variable which starts with $ is treated as a handling variable. Handling variables are not case sensitive. $handling_variable_name = a setting value Reference of Handling Variable $action Command name to execute or response code to return $action = an internal command name $action = a SIP response code If an internal command name is specified, the server executes the command. If a SIP response code is specified, the server returns the response packet with the specified response code to the matched request and the session will not be routed. $action = 200 Returns the response 200 OK. 73 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

75 $auth Whether to authenticate or not $auth = true or false This sets whether to authenticate the matched request or not. If "true", the authentication will be enabled. If "false", the authentication will be disabled.

If the SIP Server can not reach a destination within an Inviting time-out, the next specified destination will be used. $target = provider.domain Routes the session to provider.domain. $target = , , Multiple destination IP addresses are specified for failover. $transport Transport type $transport = a transport type ( UDP or TCP ) It is a transport type used for sending/receiving the packets to/from the session destination (UAS). $transport = TCP Use TCP for the sending packets to the UAS. 79 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

81 5. Upper Registration and Thru Registration Using Upper Registration or thru Registration function, SIP clients under the Brekeke SIP Server will be registered at the other SIP Server (the Upper Server), and users can receive calls from the Upper Server through the Brekeke SIP Server Upper Registration Upper Registration is a function to forward all of REGISTER requests to the registrar server (Upper Server) specified at the Brekeke SIP Server. Please use the following settings for Upper Registration: 1. In the [Configuration] page > [SIP], set [Upper Registration] as follows. Item Setting Value Explanation On/Off on Enable the Upper Registration Register Server The address of the other registrar server IP address or FQDN of the registrar server to be used as the Upper Registration destination Protocol UDP or TCP Transport protocol used for Upper Registration 2. Set the following at a SIP client. Item SIP Proxy Server Registrar Outbound Proxy User Name Password Setting Value Brekeke SIP Server s IP address or FQDN Brekeke SIP Server s IP address or FQDN Brekeke SIP Server s IP address or FQDN When authentication is set at the Upper Server, set the user name that is assigned by the Upper Server here. When authentication is set at the Upper Server, set the password that is assigned by the Upper Server here. 80 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

82 5.2. Thru Registration Thru Registration is a function to forward REGISTER requests to the registrar server (Upper Server) specified in the Request-URI. Please use the following settings for Thru Registration: 1. In the [Configuration] page > [SIP], set [Thru Registration] as follows. Item Value Explanation On/Off on Enable the Thru Registration 2. Set the following at a SIP client. Item SIP Proxy Server Registrar Outbound Proxy User Name Password Setting Value Brekeke SIP Server s IP address or FQDN In the case where Outbound Proxy setting is available, you would need to set the Upper Server s address here. Upper Server s address Brekeke SIP Server s IP address or FQDN When authentication is set at the Upper Server, set the user name that is assigned by the Upper Server here. When authentication is set at the Upper Server, set the password that is assigned by the Upper Server here. 81 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

83 6. NAT Traversal The NAT Traversal feature is used to keep connectivity when SIP clients are located on different networks. The feature rewrites SIP packets and relay RTP packets to meet requirements Brekeke SIP Server Behind NAT (Near-End NAT traversal) If you are using the Brekeke SIP Server behind a NAT, but need to communicate with SIP servers and clients outside the NAT, please use the following settings for Near-End NAT traversal UPnP Settings If your router supports UPnP, you can use it for Near-End NAT traversal. With UPnP, the Brekeke SIP Server can obtain the WAN IP address of the router and manage the port forwarding. Please use the following settings for UPnP: 1. Enable the UPnP at the router. (Refer to the router s document for more details.) 2. In the [Configuration] page > [System], set [UPnP] as follows. Item Setting value Explanation Enable/Disable enable Enable the UPnP feature. Default router IP address The local IP address of the router The local IP address of the router 3. Restart the Brekeke SIP Server. 4. Go to [Server Status] page. If the Brekeke SIP server got the WAN IP address of the router successfully, the IP address will be shown at the [interface] field. Also, the [router] field will show the router s information Manual Configuration If your router doesn t support UPnP, you need to configure interface address settings and a port forwarding manually. Please use the following settings for manual configuration: 1. In the [Configuration] page > [System], set [Network] as follows. Item Setting value Explanation Interface address 1 The WAN IP address of the router IP address or FQDN of the router which can be reached from WAN side. 82 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

84 2. Setting port forwarding at the router is required to ensure NAT traversal to work properly. With proper setting at the router, the Brekeke SIP Server s listening ports for SIP and RTP are forwarded to the Brekeke SIP Server s IP address. Please set the following Brekeke SIP Server s ports for the port forwarding at the router. Port Number (Default) Transport Protocol Purpose Set at 5060 UDP and TCP SIP [Configuration] > [SIP] > [Local Port] UDP RTP [Configuration] > [RTP] > [Minimum Port] and [Maximum Port] 6.2. For Clients Behind NAT over the Internet (Far-End NAT traversal) To communicate properly with SIP clients located behind a NAT over the Internet, Far-End NAT traversal feature is applied to the call. If the Brekeke SIP Server is located behind a different NAT, you would need to set the Near-End NAT traversal setting as well. 1. Far-End NAT traversal requires maintaining port mapping at the router that is located at the same network with SIP clients. SIP packets from the Brekeke SIP Server will be undeliverable when port mapping has been cleared. To ensure maintaining the port mapping at the router, the Brekeke SIP Server needs to send dummy SIP packets for refreshing periodically; this feature is called Keep Alive. The interval of Keep Alive needs to be set short to prevent port mapping being cleared. For some routers, this Keep Alive feature does not work to maintain port mapping. For such a case, we recommend that you use the Port Forwarding setting at the router instead. Please refer to the step.2. In the [Configuration] page > [SIP], set [NAT traversal] as follows. Item Setting Value Explanation Keep address/ port mapping on Enable Keep Alive feature Interval (ms) (Depends on network environments.) This is the interval to send dummy SIP packets. Default is set as 12,000 milliseconds (12 seconds). Shorter interval is recommended to ensure maintaining port mapping at routers. 83 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

85 2. In addition to the Keep Alive feature, there is another way to establish communications with a SIP client located behind a NAT over the Internet. When the communication cannot be established, even with Keep Alive settings, it is necessary to set port forwarding settings on the router located on the same network with SIP client. For port forwarding, you need to set the port numbers for SIP and RTP that SIP client is using on the router. Please refer to the configuration screen or document of SIP client for the port numbers to set at these settings. 84 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

86 7. Basic Setup To have proper communications using the Brekeke SIP Server, precise settings at both Brekeke SIP Server and SIP client are necessary Setup Brekeke SIP Server Generally, you may not need any settings at Brekeke SIP Server for basic setup. If you require the user authentication, please enable the Authentication feature and create users at the Brekeke SIP Server. 1. Enable the Authentication. In the [Configuration] page > [SIP], set [Authentication] as follows. Item Setting Value Explanation REGISTER on Authenticates REGISTER requests. INVITE on Authenticates INVITE requests. 2. Create Users. In the [User Authentication] page > [New User], create a new user for authentication. Please refer to the section New User / Edit User for more details SIP Client Setup Setting up the SIP client (User Agent, UA) begins with preparing an appropriate SIP client to meet your requirements and environment. Commonly used SIP clients are SIP softphones, SIP hardphones, VoIP Gateways, Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA), and Instant Messenger (IM). 1. Basic settings for SIP clients. The setting items are depending on SIP clients. Item SIP Proxy Server Registrar Outbound Proxy Domain Realm Setting Value Brekeke SIP Server s IP address or FQDN Brekeke SIP Server s IP address or FQDN Brekeke SIP Server s IP address or FQDN Brekeke SIP Server s IP address or FQDN Brekeke SIP Server s IP address Set the same Realm which is set to the SIP Server if the server does authentication. 85 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

87 Item User Name Authentication User Name Password Setting Value User name. When authentication is set at the Brekeke SIP Server, set the user name that is assigned by server. When authentication is set at the Brekeke SIP Server, set the password that is assigned by server. 2. If a SIP client is properly set, you can confirm registration status from the [Registered Clients] page on the Brekeke SIP Server Admintool Make a test call After more than two SIP clients are registered in the Brekeke SIP Server, each SIP client can call each other by dialing a registered user name. 86 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

88 8. Security This section describes how to configure Brekeke SIP Server security features. These features can protect your service against attacks or unauthorized use Administration Tool To avoid a takeover of the server, please change the password for Administration Tool at [Configuration] > [Password] page. Its default password is sa SIP Authentication There are two ways to enable SIP Authentication. One is for the entire server. Another is for certain SIP requests. To use SIP Authentication, an administrator needs to add users in the [User Authentication] page. Please refer to the section 3.4. User Authentication for more details SIP Authentication for all INVITE/REGISTER requests Please enable SIP Authentication at the [Configuration] > [SIP] page. This setting affects all of INVITE / REGISTER requests. Item Setting Value Explanation REGISTER on Authenticates REGISTER requests. INVITE on Authenticates INVITE requests SIP Authentication for certain requests The server can authenticate a certain SIP request by using $auth variable in the Dial Plan. The $auth variable determines whether to authenticate the matched request or not. If the value is "true", the server authenticates the request. If the value is "false, the server does not authenticate the request. Example-1: Authenticate SUBSCRIBE requests. Matching Patterns $request = ^SUBSCRIBE Deploy Patterns $auth = true $continue = true 87 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

89 Example-2: Don t authenticate INVITE requests if it comes from x. Matching Patterns Deploy Patterns $request = ^INVITE $addr = ^ $auth = false $continue = true 8.3. To block a non-registered user's INVITE request. To block non- registered users, the following sample Dial Plan rules will help you. Example-1: If a client is not registered in the server, its INVITE request will be rejected with 403 Forbidden response. Matching Patterns Deploy Patterns $request = ^INVITE $registered( From ) = false $action = 403 Example-2: If a client s registered IP address and port do not match with request s remote IP address and port, the request will be rejected with 403 Forbidden response. Matching Patterns Deploy Patterns $request = ^INVITE $port = (.+) $addr = (.+) $registeredaddr(from) =! %1:%2 $action = Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide

90 9. Mirroring/Heartbeat This section describes how to configure the Mirroring and Heartbeat features for a failover. The Mirroring and Heartbeat features provide High Availability (HA) functions for keeping your SIP service alive. To deploy these features, please prepare two server installations of the Brekeke SIP Server Advanced Edition called the Primary server and the Secondary server. With the Mirroring and Heartbeat features, third-parties clustering/failover solutions are no longer necessary Deployment Structure 1. Before the Primary server goes down, the Primary Server provides the service and the Seconday server stands by as an idle backup. All of SIP packets are sent to the Primary server with the Virtual IP address. SIP packets SIP packets are sent to the Virtual IP Address Mirroring packets Primary Server Provides a service Secondary Server Back-up 2. If the Primary server goes down, the Heartbeat feature switches the Seconday server to be the Primary server and assigns the Virtual IP address to the new Primary server. SIP packets are sent to the Virtual IP Address SIP packets Old Primary Server New Primary Server Provides a service 89 Brekeke SIP Server Administrator s Guide
